SEED POTATOES BY MAlZT A $1 LWESTMEaT. 
E. Williams :— Dear Sir.— I planted the Early Goodrich 
potatoes soon after receiving them, and from the 4 lbs. raised 
4K bushels. Thevarea first-class table potato, earlier than 
the Mercer, and not more than a lb. of small ones in all 1 
raised.' The Cuzco did as well as last vear, and the Cop- 
permine a little better. I do not think the Early Goodrich 
can be beat in size and productiveness as an early potato, 
and as for a table potato it is the best I raised ont of 16 kinds.
